Meeting Romanyac Officially
"Dad."
In the evening, Romantina returned home and found Romanyac, who had also returned early. "I don't want to leave Nuoding City, at least not now."
"Why?"
Romanyac didn't understand. "I miscalculated City Lord Xiao's greed and folly, which led to things developing to this point. Now, Nuoding City is rife with undercurrents. Of those visiting Soul Master who came to attend the auction, how many left Nuoding City after it ended?"
"You are my only daughter! Romantina!"
Romantina could feel her father's love, but—
"I am a knight, and I can protect Nuoding City!"
Romanyac said speechlessly, "What kind of knight are you? You haven't even officially Nuoding City Patrol Team! You don't even have a proper knightly status! This isn't the time to play house!"
"Father!" Romantina demanded. "Didn't you say that as long as one has chivalry, one is a true knight? Are you lying to me?"
"I···"
Romanyac sighed, "I shouldn't have told you those grand principles that I myself couldn't follow... But now it's not a joke. Even though most Soul Master will just go to City Lord Xiao's side to fish in troubled waters after Nuoding City falls into chaos, we're not completely safe either!"
"You are not the lord of Nuoding City, but you are the Nuoding City lord. At a time like this, you should pull yourself together and do your best to maintain the security of Nuoding City. How can you only think of your own family? As your daughter, I cannot leave here!" Romantina spoke of righteousness. "The more critical the moment, the more courage we need to muster!"
Is this something Romantina would say?
No one knows a daughter better than her father.
She is indeed courageous, but without someone embellishing her words and smoothing out her sentences, she would be incoherent by now.
Romanyac paused for a moment, then thought of Zhou Qing and the others, as if he understood his daughter's change, and said, "You're worried about your friends, right? That's perfect, they're with you. With their talent, they can definitely become powerful Soul Master in the future!"
"They said they're not leaving," Romantina said, her head bowed.
"That······"
"My fate is intertwined with Zhou Qing's." Romantina interrupted Romanyac's words, a maternal tenderness appearing in her eyes. She raised her hand to stroke her muscular abdomen and said gently, "Because I am pregnant with his child."
Romanyac's mouth dropped open, his eyes widened, and he was completely at a loss for words...
What the hell!?
The next morning, Zhou Qing had just finished his morning exercise and was about to go to the Library to read when Romantina dragged him to her house.
Faced with Romanyac's strange gaze, he was filled with questions.
How could someone use pregnancy as an excuse?
This is beyond perverted!
It's just weird!
It's one of those oddities caused by genetic mutation!
"Your Excellency Vice Lord of Romanyac, as you know, I am only six years old. How could I possibly have gotten Romantina pregnant? You should go to the Nuoding Guild to inquire about the specifics..."
"You actually think I'm that kind of person?" Before she could finish speaking, Romantina grabbed Zhou Qing's collar, lifted him up, and shook him vigorously. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, clearly because she was imagining being suspected of infidelity by her future husband, which made her unable to control herself.
[How dare he act like this in front of Romanyac? This guy is hopeless!]
Zhou Qing was speechless.
"Cough cough!"
Romanyac coughed twice and said sternly, "Romantina, watch your behavior. Don't be impolite in front of the guests."
"I'm sorry, Father." Romantina addressed Romanyac formally, but still defended herself, "Perhaps it's because his Martial Soul is blood circulation... no, heart, while my Martial Soul is brain, both of which are part of the body, so I have unique thoughts about him."
"A natural Martial Soul connection?" Romanyac's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that his daughter and Zhou Qing would have a connection that indicated their Martial Soul Fusion!
You should know that this kind of natural intuition is the rarest and most precious thing!
Although he didn't know what new Martial Soul could be formed by fusing the Heart Martial Soul and the Brain Martial Soul, judging from the perspective of Martial Soul perception, Zhou Qing and his daughter were a match made in heaven.
"Actually, it's not that intense," Zhou Qing said with an embarrassed smile.
"What do you mean it's not that intense? Every time I get close to you, I lose my composure, isn't that the best proof?" Romantina said with certainty.
This is because you're a pervert!
He was roaring with anger in his heart, but Zhou Qing dared not say it out loud in front of Romantina's father. He only asked tentatively, "I think, Deputy City Lord, you should know Romantina's personality, right?"
"I know. Gentle, considerate, Kindness, kind, brave, persevering, thrifty, hardworking, and sincere—these are all wonderful qualities of my daughter," Romanyac said without changing his expression.
Zhou Qing: "..."
Damn it!
Is it really possible for someone to be so biased towards their own daughter?
Wrong!
Is this someone trying to sell their daughter?
However, apart from being bold and unrestrained "Romantina in that aspect," none of the qualities Romanyac mentioned seem to be fabricated.
"Also, just call me Uncle Yac, it's too formal for the deputy city lord," Romanyac added.
Zhou Qing: "..."
This is a dangerous sign!
"Speaking of Martial Soul, you were Innate Full Soul Power, right?" Romanyac asked. "What level of Soul Power did you reach after obtaining your Soul Ring?"
"Level 15," Romantina answered first.
"Fifteen? Fifteen!" Romanyac exclaimed twice, looking at Zhou Qing with surprise and doubt. "Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"
Helpless, Zhou Qing had no choice but to release the control over his Soul Power. In Romanyac's perception, the fluctuation of his Soul Power was indeed level fifteen!
"Genius!"
Romanyac exclaimed in amazement, "Moo Spring Ox around five hundred years old! In the Soul Master World, the limit for the First Spirit Ring is around four hundred years. You have broken that limit. It's truly remarkable!"
"It was just luck," Zhou Qing said.
"What is Soul Skill? Would you mind demonstrating it?" At this moment, Romanyac was truly considering Zhou Qing as a potential son-in-law.
With his Innate Full Soul Power cultivation speed alone, becoming Titled Douluo in the future is only a matter of time.
Although he himself did not know what kind of development his Heart Martial Soul could achieve, as long as his Soul Power Level was high enough, he could still crush all Soul Master below the Titled Douluo.
The reason Romanyac asked about the effect of Zhou Qing's First Soul Skill was because he wanted to plan Zhou Qing's future direction.
If their offensive capabilities are weak, he will use his connections to send the two men and their two friends to a more stable city to grow slowly and prepare for the future.
"This···"
Zhou Qing gestured to Romantina with his eyes, hoping she would speak up, since the fewer people who know about the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement, the better.
"Dad, this is a little secret between us, and we can't reveal it yet," Romantina said seriously. "It concerns our future sexual happiness!"
Zhou Qing: " ̄□ ̄||"
Romanyac completely ignored his daughter's intermittent tantrums, focusing all his attention on Zhou Qing. He assumed Zhou Qing's Soul Skill was something he found difficult to talk about, perhaps even rather embarrassing. He sighed slightly and said, "Alright then, I won't ask anymore. But I want to ask, why are you unwilling to leave Nuoding City? You're a precocious and intelligent child; you should be able to figure out why I arranged for Romantina to leave, right?"
